It was first published in 1981 by [[Little, Brown and Company]] and was re-published in 1996 with a re-illustrated cover, although the page illustrations were recycled from the original publication. The cover illustration of the first edition depicted Francine wearing a green baseball cap with the yellow "F" emblem, her shirt with "SLUGGERS" on the front, and holding a baseball bat; and the cover illustration of the renewed edition depicts Arthur and Francine out in the baseball field, but changed Francine's baseball cap from green to red and removed the "F" emblem from that cap and "SLUGGERS" from her shirt as well. It became adapted as an [[Arthur and the True Francine|episode]] as the second half of Episode 14 of Season 1 in 1996, although the story is quite different. | ||

* On the beginning page, while Arthur was carrying a ''[[Bionic Bunny]]'' lunchbox, Francine was carrying a ''[[Rat Woman]]'' lunchbox, since Arthur is a fan of ''Bionic Bunny'' and Francine is a fan of ''Rat Woman''.
